peninsula morning skies...

I've been far too busy this morning to take time to look up and admire the peninsula skies...
After a flurry of early morning tweets, I have just been 'running around' (till now - coffee break)...
So glad to know peninsula beauty is still just waiting to be appreciated... https://t.co/iXuoY5Zza8

weird morning...

PASSING THOUGHT: Weird morning...Tidying up my last round of packing canned. I've spent all morning clearing outside paths+verandah of leaves+tidying? the house because rental real estate wants a pest inspection, inside+out, tomorrow+Thursday (when I'm at school)...Not fair...😡

cross marking...

PASSING THOUGHT: I wasn't going to air this achievement. But changed my mind. Just spent all Saturday morning cross-marking an English assessment for another young teacher. The cross-marking involved recording comments- (strengths+ weaknesses) + suggested grades.
Feel chuffed.😀

a shredder morning...

PASSING THOUGHT: I have just spent a delightful morning shredding old documents dating back to 2006!!!!
I guess you could call me a hoarder...
Such a relief to throw the groaning, empty old file case in the bin...
There goes my past life and all its headaches...
I hope...

puddle currency...

If a strip of apparent blue plastic is indeed some fallen length of blue sky, I am happy...
Definitely need to invest a little more in 'puddle currency'... It sounds priceless... https://t.co/mkWRZ9LHRU

strange flyovers...

PASSING THOUGHT: There's been quite a strange stream of small plane + helicopter flyovers this morning on the Mornington Peninsula...
Yes...There is a small airport nearby at Tyabb, but I've never experienced this 'traffic' except when Portsea Polo is scheduled each January...

That is highly probable I feel...

feels hotter than 25°C at 9:36am...

It's only 25°C in Dromana right now at 9:36am...
But it seems far hotter...
Blame high humidity+yesterday's hot night?...
I'm trying to do more moving preparation, but motivation+energy are so low...
At least my removal guys made a 2nd big pick-up early today...#melbourneweather

My first discovery on my Twitter timeline this Monday morning...
A glorious moment of peace and beauty...
A fine beginning to the day... https://t.co/QXprfXL5w3

magical mystery of northern lights...

I always wish to keep those beautiful northern lights in magical mystery land...
I don't need a scientific explanation...
I'd rather be as a child and just enjoy the wonder... https://t.co/D1loFu8snt

busy morning...

PASSING THOUGHT: Busy morning - chemist, supermarket, Reject Shop for shower mat (bought 3, + 2 for stash) + cleared about 50% of Melbourne's wild weather gifts lying on my lawn - all suitably binned.
That's enough achievement for one day...
Time to do some Twitter chilling...

earthquake in Mt Martha this morning + Tassie last night...

These earthquake events are getting just a tad too close to home...
Mt Martha is 'just down the road' from Dromana... https://t.co/OhC5mYwOzp

— Gemma Wiseman - on Bunurong land, Kulin Nation (@AuraGem) October 10, 2021

Talking of earthquakes at Mt Martha on the Mornington Peninsula this morning, just found this earthquake news coming from Tasmania...(Swansea+Bicheno are on the east coast)...
Any correlation between this Tasmanian one last night and the Mornington Peninsula one this morning? https://t.co/RjLyHpFcxJ
